OnITDAaY.—Once more ;the silent reap-
er has been iu our midst. We rater to
the death of Mre. Wm. Boesenberry, nee
Mies Margaret Rae, who departed this
life on April let, at the early age of 22
years and 9 months. Mre. Boesenberry
had not been well far some time. Her
illness took a dangerous turn about two
weeks ago and from then till her death
oho sank very rapidly. Tho disease to
which she succumbed was a grave form
of Aouamia which ineidnonely made its
way until it had taken such a hold upon
her 'bat medical skill was of no avail.
Mrs. Boesenberry had been married only
fourteen months, and since her marriage
resided in Zurich. About two months
and a half ago she Dame here to visit her
pareute expecting to return in a few
weeko, but this she was not destined to
do. Mrs. Boseenberry was of a gentle,
unassuming, compassionate nature, one
who had no enemies and was beloved by
all who knew her ; and it the virtues of
kindness and benevolence deserve a place
in human memory her name will not
soon pass into oblivion. Sad and sorrow-
ful as our hearts are for her untimely
demise we have the consolation that she
had an abiding faith in Him who ie the
reeurreetion and the life. She leaves be -
bind her an intent eon of 4 months. To
the bereaved husband, the parents, broth.
ere and sisters, the sympathy of• the
community is extended in their hour of
trial and affliction. Rev. Mr. Forrest
and Rev. Mr. Tiffin, of Walton, oonduot-
ed the funeral eervioe. The remains
were interred in Brueeele cemetery.

SPRING MILLINERY,
Bruesela takes no mooed plane for
fashionable millinery and this season's
display is no exception to the rule. The
weather on Wednesday and Thursday of
last week was not at all in keeping with .
the o0oaeion but the fair sex turned out •
in good force and made the semi-annual
inepeotion of headgear. A great many
Paris andNewYork patterns are shown
this year. As a rule the hate are medium
large, with a dip in front, flat effects in
soft draping, large standing bows of two -
toiled ribbon or velvet, joined with mach-
ine stitching and showing appligned lane,
on end of the ribbon tabs. Militias in
plume effects, lace scarfs, foliage and
roses, although paueiea are very fashion•
able, with the gold buckle ornament, are
all used. oatriob plumes and ospreys,
with mercury wings, are greatly in vogue
tbie season, So many hate in the new
shades are ail in three tones, straw,
ribbon and foliage, one perfect blend of
Dolor. The all Week hate, with gold
ornamooba, are very smart. Next cornea
the bleak and white combination, then
the Machin tints, violet, opal blues, pinks,
pale greens and eat greys. One of the
most noticeable features about many of
the patterns is the large number of soft
gauze effects. The leading garnitures
will be fanny braid effects, Chiffons, both
plain and tanoy, will be much need, one
unique and entirely new style of trim._'
ming of this variety being known as the
dewdrop. This 000eiats of a thin Bilk
gauze oovered with -minute crystals,
which gliaben like diamonds. IRibbons,
very wide or very narrow, are also to be
an important feature in trimmings, and
will be of plain satin, which seems to
have the lead, faille, fanny and taffetas.
Taffetas, silks and fine eat satins will be
largely used in pieced goods. Feathers
are also being shown in larger numbers
than in any previous year, chiefly in tips
and .1•flata.

latest and best in millinery art arranged
in a style befitting the 000001on and gave
ample evidence of Mies Dunbar's good'
taste. A bat called "Sunrise" wait trim-

colors, with broad effect in front, large
ribbon bow, finished with braze erne,.

other was a pretty violet oetered straw
hat trimmed with violetine shade of silk,
foliage and roses to blend, and handsome
feather quill In larger shapes the
"Empire" leads. The one on exhibition
haL a mushroom bank, trimmed with
foliage and large roses with elegant
French designs in front. A French pat-
tern large cream hat adorned with pale
blue oatrioh plumes, forming a broad
effect in front, trimmed high at the back
with Bengaline Dachas satin and lilacs
in the newest shade of blue. A French
tie finished off with a beautiful bognet
was a most attractive hat. Then there
was tbe "Oyrano de Bergernao," a large
sized toque, trimmed in the oyrano
Medea and white flowers whioh are large-
ly used in the better olaes of millinery,
soft effect around the crown of polka dot
(Minn. Mrs. Rogers has mores of other
hate and bonnets that will please the
feminine taste. Large stook of newest
walking hots, sailors, and drone shapes,

mourning goods. One of the modest
millinery maidens had a new creation
in the high millinery art, but language
fails us in describing it, and the fair vie.
iters will have to ask Mre. Rogers or Miss
Dunbar for a peep. Despite uneme0n-
able weather, the new geode are moving
oat and the prospects are 000080ring for
a lively season. The show room was
tastily arranged and the prettiness of the
new goods duly admired.

To attempt a description in full is not

traotive were a Leghorn hat with T roses,
plumes,gilt buckles and net tie that
would add to any pretty faoe ; another
designated "Viola," with a violet rim,
three shades of the same colored abbots,
and rose foliage ander the rim, with pick
roses as near like Nature's production as

and T roses wan a general favorite. Our

satin mulberry,, tinsel net, 3 large plumes
and osprey, with band trimmed _ with
buckles. I6 was a daisy. The Empire
shape is one that will be much Worn as
is very similar to the Shephordes8 of beet
